Vespasian Denarius Rev: Vespasian seatedVespasian 69-79 Silver Denarius
Obv: IMP CAES VESP AVG CEN, laureate head right,
Rev: PONTIF MAXIM, Vespasian seated right on curule chair, holding scepter and olive-branch, feet on footstool.
RIC II² 545 (C).
Not in RIC II, though similar to 65 (there noted as CENS instead of CEN).
This particular coin was initially recorded as an 'unpublished' variety and one of only two known to Ted Buttrey (the other being a BM acquisition from 1977). A small number of others have since come to light. Still a relatively scarce coin in comparison.

Obv: IMP CAES DIVI VESP F DOMITIAN AVG P M, laureate head right,
Rev: TR P COS VII DES VIII P P, Minerva standing left holding Victory and spear, shield behind.

At one stage this coin was the only one known, according to Ted Buttrey prior to the publication of RIC II², until another was recorded in Bucharest, and another sold in a Künker auction in 2005.

Julia Domna Denarius R: VestaObv. IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG, draped bust of Julia Domna right,
Rev. VESTA, Vesta standing left, holding Palladium and sceptre.
Sear 7108; RIC (Caracalla) 390; RSC 230.

All of the examples I have seen (only about 120+) have the reverse legend arranged 'V-E-S-T-A', or sometimes 'VE-S-T-A', whereas this example, perhaps uniquely for this die, has the arrangement 'VES-TA'.
In any case, a particularly attractive example, with a nicely detailed palladium.

Alexander the GreatObv: Head of beardless Herakles, right, wearing lion skin headdress.
Rev: ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ in exergue; Charioteer in Biga right, Trident below.
"Alexandria (Antigoneia)" mint, struck c.310-301 BC. Extremely rare!

Attribution to this mint has been questioned of late (Meadows, NC 2004),
although no firmer alternative has yet been put forward. A mint in the Troad
seems to be likely, given that three were found in the excavations at Troy.

This is an extremely desirable and very difficult to find item. It appears that
there are none on any of the modern sales databases, and I know of only
one other that has been offered via a 'small seller' on an online auction site.

There is one in the British museum, at least one in Berlin (I-B), one in
the Portolos collection (Athens); another in Paris (B 80); the three that
were found at Troy, the one offered online, and now this one.
Please feel free to let me know of any other known specimens.

Among the rarest bronzes of the series.
Price 1587; Gaebler p.169, 7 pl.XXXI,26;
Bellinger Troy A1; BM 1921,0213.196.
